I learned so much from this book and it helped me to put so much into place in terms of history, people, thought and various scientific terms. I also loved the characters and it being set in Norway but I found it really difficult to read and there was almost too much to put into place, if you asked me what Plato said and thought in comparison to Satre, Descartes or Thomas Aquinas - I still wouldn’t be able to explain!!!
Roman okuyacağım derken 15 yaşında bir kız için verilen felsefe kursunun içinde buldum kendimi, hem de ne kurs, felsefeyle ilgili temel bilgileri verirken sürükleyici kurgusuyla okuma isteğini arttıran bir yapısı var.
Felsefi bilgilerin arasında Hilde ve Sofie'nin öyküsü velhasıl.
Keyifliydi! :)

As promised, this book does give an introductory overview of philosophical thought in an unusual way. The reader enters into Sophie's quest to unravel the mystery of the notes and postcards and later participates in her philosophy lessons with Alberto. Perhaps most interesting, as it delves into the foundations of philosophical thought, is the doubt cast on Sophie's existence as other than a figment of the imagination of Hilde's father. This is a clever interrogation of multiple realities.
I found Sophie herself rather irritating, particularly her observations during Alberto's expositions, but realize that these probably help to clarify the concepts. One loose end was her father, absent at sea. Alberto obviously takes on the role of father-figure but never quite steps into these shoes and the parallel figure of Hilde's father suggests Sophie's yearning for a more regular family situation.

I read this book in middle school challenge. It had such an impact on me and even thinking back on it It was such a great way of making philosophy interesting. Especially to a middle school reader.
